My wife has bought this..opinions?

[Bombero1956]

My wife traded in her 2000 Eccho with 150,000 miles for this new Scion Xb. The color is black cherry pearl. It's nice in a strange sort of way.

1. is that a sport utility hurse?

just kidding! I like the color.

[Tripper11]

2. Blech!

Sorry Gargoyle..but that is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen.

[Bombero1956]

3. well it's her not mine

I have a 99 Mustang GT. It has a little more oooomph.

[Tripper11]

Sorry dude...didn't want to make you or her feel bad...

it's just a rather boxy looking rig. I have seen them on the road and I just don't see the appeal.

11. your car is hot

your spouses on the other hand, is a boxy piece of shit.

15. good deal if it was an even trade.........it was an even trade right?!

[jmowreader]

4. It's even uglier than an Element

I guess you have to see this in person to appreciate its finer qualities.

5. It's funky .... I like it.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

6. looks like a Mini on steroids

interesting wheel base set up though... 4 doors? can't tell from the pic.

[Rowdyboy]

7. My God, if she averages 40 thousand miles a year

that puppy's gonna bankrupt you guys. Hope she gets mileage.

[Bombero1956]

10. her commute is

120 miles roundtrip X 5 days. She also has trips to visit clients which may take her to the 6 New England states.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I like it!

That's kind of cool looking. Reminiscent of the old days, but modern.

Cool!

[Deja Q]

12. You sure that's a real thing, and not a Matchbox toy?

Looks like cheap plastic.

Nice color...

But it's a SUV. 99% of SUV owners don't even begin to need one...

[Bombero1956]

14. not really

it has the same engine as the Echo, The 1.5 Liter 16 valve in-line 4-cylinder engine. Front wheel drive with Anti-Lock Brakes and Vehicle Skid Control. Gas mileage is 30/34.

[burrowowl]

13. What is it?

150,000 miles in 4 years is serious traveling.

[IronLionZion]

16. It's cooler than an echo

but I would have gone for the corolla S with manual transmission if I was getting a small cheap car.

[sendero]

17. uh....

.... beautiful color man!

[lojasmo]

18. Hmmmm

I'm intrigued. Sort of interesting looking. Bulletproof engine. Probably lacks power.

I'm convinced anybody who travels A LOT and likes performance should look into getting a VW TDI.
